BB Cream Review: Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector

I've been requested by a reader to review a range of BB Creams so here's the first in the series. If you've been paying attention over the last year, BB Creams, or Blemish Balms are the "big thing" of the moment, promising skin perfection by moisturising, covering spots, with many have SPF properties and other "miracle" properties.

The Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream was the first one to hit Britain. I got some in Thailand when I was there last year and it promised whitening properties, but the British one is very different.

This BB cream promises

even tone

boosted glow

Blurs imperfections

smoothes fine lines

SPF15 protection

24hr hydration

I got some sachets from a friend so I can't comment on the packaging.

Here's my skin without any makeup. As you can see my skin is pretty clear at the moment so I need a bit of colour, something to even my skin tone and cover my smaller spots.

The prodict is very thick and creamy. It has a lovely fruity smell and spreads really easily

I have the light colour which spreads really easily into the skin and matches my skin colour with enough spreading.

Here's the after photos.

As you can see it gives colour, covered skin tone but you can still see my freckles. It's glowing and quite dewey so I need powder to stop it looking shiney. It's not greasy however so that's good! And it doesn't sit on your face uncomfortably.

Overall - It's a good BB Cream and with some powder it's a great daytime look. I really like how it spreads well and gives a very light coverage.

I'm sorry but this cream is WAY too dark for you! It's orange and very patchy. I am maybe even paler than you and will not waste money on this product. But: I like that the pictures aren't retouched - your eyeliner is flawless!
